Am I correct in stating that setting --size=8 will make the sectors 4k

No, you are not. As the man-page clearly states, this sets the
size of the underlying device as multiple of 512B sectors.
I submit that for the luksFormat action, the --size option does _nothing_!
The size is not recorded in the LUKS header, and luksFormat does not open
the encrypted device, so there is neither a temporary nor a persistent
effect from that option. In fact, there is not even a check that the
requested size is within the limits of the underlying device.
